Deadlift Training - Week 1, Cycle 7

26 May 2011

Deadlift:

285 lbs. x 5 (all double OH)
330 lbs. x 5 (2 DOH)
370 lbs. x 10 reps (hard)

The gym that I go to got a safety squat bar, so I tried it out. It seems a lot heavier than a regular bar.

Safety bar box squats above parallel - worked up to  bar + 190 lbs. for a triple. The bar forces you to stay upright and sit back into the squat more, and I would have trouble hitting depth with it.

Machine shrugs 3 sets x 10

Stiff-legged DLs - worked up to 335 lbs. x 1 (PR, I think)

Mid-shin deadlifts - worked up to 365 lbs. x 1 (never done these before). Could have gone higher, but by this time my hands already felt like raw meat.

Leg curls 3 sets x 10
